The first half of the chapter was super wholesome, but towards the end, MC is still completely stuck in his NTR trauma from his ex-wife. Also, I can already smell the drama coming from Karen's ikemen coworker for future chapters :haa:

I don't think it's even NTR. All he knows is that his ex-wife wanted a divorce, framed him for domestic abuse, and then ruined his reputation.

His trauma comes from the fact that he was completely blindsided by all of it. He has no idea what he might have done to make her go to such lengths, or what he did to deserve it. The fact he was blind to everything leading up to that collapse is what has him second-guessing not only everything he does but also his qualities as a person.

Especially since his childhood friend has basically been a godsend, giving him a place to live and doing everything she can to lift him up. He's terrified of "getting the wrong idea", and then hurting/scaring someone so important to him. Again.

This baffles me. Why listen to a stranger who knows nothing about you or your relationship?

Also, hopefully he was awake and realizes she wouldn't just crawl into anyones bed.

Such a shame that a really fun concept is being dragged down by truly awful writing. I had a feeling given the setup from the beginning but this author really has no idea how to write anything interesting without resorting to completely over-the-top drama and bizarre characterisation. I have a sneaking suspicion that regardless of what actually happens in this manga, every chapter is basically going to be some variation on this one.
